EA Sports FC 24: Unable to Connect to EA Servers? Here’s the Fix

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 04 Mar 2023

If you’re trying to kick it with EA Sports FC 24 and you keep getting that super annoying “Unable to Connect to EA Servers” error, I got you covered. We’ve all been there—just tryna get our game on, and bam! The universe throws a wrench into our plans… But no sweat, I’m gonna break it down step-by-step so you can get back to schooling fools on the pitch (or, you know, at least trying to). Buckle up, ’cause here we go!!

Wired > Wireless

I know, I know. No one wants to trip over cables in 2023, but sometimes old school is the best school.

Grab an Ethernet cable (or “LAN” cable if you’re fancy), and plug that bad boy into your console and your router.

Jump back into your console’s settings and set up a wired connection. It’s kinda like swapping out for the premium stuff—better performance, less lag.

Still can’t connect? Hold up, I got more tricks up my sleeve.

DNS Shenanigans

Look, DNS is just a fancy internet address book. Sometimes it gets a bit messed up; let’s give it a fresh start…

Dive back into your console’s network settings.

Choose Wi-Fi (yes, even if you went wired earlier), hit Advanced Settings, and scroll to DNS.

Choose manual and punch in some fresh digits:

Google’s DNS: 8.8.8.8 & 8.4.4.8

Or Cloudflare’s: 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1

Why do this? Think of it as changing up the playbook; sometimes you gotta swap things up to get results…

Good Ol’ Troubleshoot

Maybe EA’s servers are just having a bad day. Check online to see if they’re down.

Your router might just need a breather. Unplug it, count to 10, and plug it back in.

Make sure your Windows firewall or antivirus ain’t side-eyeing FC 24. Give the game a pass (or “whitelist” it).

When All Else Fails, Change the Signal

If you’ve tried all the tricks, sometimes you gotta improvise.

Got a mobile with hotspot capabilities? Turn that on and connect your console.

Or try connecting to a different Wi-Fi—maybe your neighbor’s (with permission, of course :)…
